I hear Dallas is looking to trade out of 14th. Something to keep in mind.

Rumor, Campbell dealt to Columbus. Trying to confirm.

One source, Mark Spizzirri, says the Wings are in on Bob the goalie.

Regher refuses the Buffalo trade. Still in play.

If anyone is going to be away for the draft, I am going to try and tweet all the developments. my twitter is the same as my name here.

I am betting on a first pick trade. The Oilers are going to drop to three and take Larsson.

Now there are whispers that Detroit is out of it as they are uninterested in making a second offer. Hardball. I like it Holland.

Jamie Oleksiak That is my dark horse pick.

That is always a safe bet. I honestly think there are two or three guys that if they are there he will jump at, after that I think he always drops down. I just can't picture him taking anyone but a defenseman first... unless it is a surefire superstar.

It wouldn't be a surprise. Though most likely got it from a speculation. Regher would be a perfect fit for our needs. Also might be a good deal because Calgary is stupid. Let Tanguay go, so they can trade for one of the worst contracts in the league in Smyth?!? Literally 6th worst in salary per points over the past three years.

This is not what you do. I cannot believe how people are acting, purposefully emulating what happened in 94 after a loss. I am glad they didn't win, they are so classless. Let us always make sure that no matter what, we stay above this as Red Wings fans.

Best ever. Well done.

It feels like, gut reaction... that VFil will get traded tonight along with Hudler for something. Just pure speculation on my part. It just feels like I think Holland has a battle plan. I think it going hard after three pieces.

Link. Fair enough for the offensive coach, but defensively we could hire anyone not named Brad and we would get better. Boughner is the CLEAR choice. I would feel so much better if we just signed him now and let Babs figure out one coach.

This is the most anti-climatic story ever. We all new it was coming, it changes nothing. I just don't even want to think about the Jets for a while. It is like we all took part in some sort of Reality TV show staged melodrama.

Rumor on the webs has it that the Flyers might go after Brad Richards.... Come on... seriously? I CANNOT believe that.

THN reports we talked to the Thrashers former coach, but might not have been about a job... Babs said, he isn't even close to making a decision... I am just stunned.

How many hours into July 1st do you think this will take. It does just seem like the only choice.

His contract might end up being one of the best in the league this season or next. The amount of inflation... Hell you could see people scoring 35 pts making 4 million in a few years. Well Brewer is gone. Will there be UFA's left? Edit: Oh my mistake there are already people like Booth making more money for less points...

Running out of UFA's...

I am starting to think we HAVE to get Brad Richards now. The way people are snatching up talent... Brooks Laich is a good way to go but even he is going to command 4 million. We seem to be able to get more from giant contracts then middle of the road contracts now.

Seeing the trade costs lately, my hope for such things has greatly diminished.

Hudler shouldn't get moved for garbage. That is the only point Eva makes that is fiercely true. I think he is worth a 2nd round pick at the least.
